![]() There’s something very sexy and understated about it! For a review of all the Colourpop Ultra Matte Lips I own, hop over to this post. I get a lot of compliments and questions about this lip colour, and even my boyfriend who usually prefers me in more natural makeup (ha!) really likes this shade. My favourite way to wear it is with monochromatic skin and a smoky eye. Although the colour is muted, this extremely cool, grey-based nude definitely makes a statement. This grey / beige hybrid is no longer a popular choice reserved exclusively for interior design - I also love to wear it on my lips! Whenever I wear Colourpop’s Ultra Matte Lip in Trap ($5) I feel like a total badass. I’m wearing the Maybelline ColorSensational Vivids Lipstick in Hot Plum on my lips. I always get lots of compliments when I wear purple lipstick! I think the Maybelline ColorSensational Vivids lipsticks are some of the best at the drugstore the formula is creamy, mostly opaque and pretty long wearing while still being comfortable on the lips - I find they last about 5 hours on me, and fade nicely. Green eyed ladies - fuchsia and purple lips do something magical for us! Since green and purple are complimentary colours (meaning they’re opposite on the colour wheel - art school coming out here!), they create a contrast and make green eyes pop. It’s strangely wearable because it’s more on the pink side. ![]() If you’re not sure that you can pull off a purple lip, try Hot Plum. ![]() I absolutely love Maybelline’s ColorSensational Vivids Lipstick in Hot Plum ($9.99) - it’s a warm toned fuchsia purple with a lot of magenta in it. You’re probably thinking - whoa, hold up, purple lips? Yes, purple lips. I’m wearing the Bourjois Colour Boost Lipstick in Red Island on my lips. Canadians, I purchase Bourjois products at Shoppers Drug Mart (they’re on the boutique side). Red Island probably the ‘safest’ colour choice in this post and I truly believe almost anyone looks great in a blue-based red lip (plus, they make your teeth look super white!) I own these Color Boost Lipsticks in literally every colour - they’re one of my all time favourite formulas! The formula is so comfortable and lightly hydrating. For a classic candy apple lip, try a blue-based red like the Bourjois Colour Boost Lipstick in Red Island ($18.34) - it’s sheer, but buildable. It’s definitely a shade I seem to overlook at this time of year because I usually reserve blue-based reds for the winter. Lightly glossy, candy apple red lips were all over the runway this spring. ![]() I love affordable beauty products and am always on the hunt for the next drugstore gem - each of my recommendations today is under $20! If you’re looking for some spring beauty inspiration or some fun, on-trend spring shades, this post is for you! I like to keep up with what’s going on in both fashion and beauty, so today’s picks combine a bit of runway inspiration with spring beauty trends. ![]() So today’s post is something a little different - I’m sharing my favourite 5 Unconventional Spring Lip Colours! Pink and peach are great standbys, but this post is all about trying something totally outside of your comfort zone. It’s a time where I try a lot of new products and discover new beauty favourites. There’s just something about spring that makes me really want to experiment in the beauty department! After our long, dreary (and extremely colourless) winters here in Calgary I feel so energized and inspired by the fresh beauty of spring. ![]()
